Should Splinterlands remove the ability to burn cards for DEC?

in Hive Polls7 days ago

The purpose of this poll is to gather stake-weighted feedback on whether or not the community supports the creation of a proposal to remove the ability to burn cards for DEC. The choices are to not change anything, remove the ability to burn rewards cards for DEC or to remove the ability to burn any card for DEC.

Some feel that the ability to burn the CL rewards cards for DEC is leaving a dangerous overhang on the economy and would like to see where stake weighs in on this issue. If a proposal is written it will likely be to change the burn from DEC to Glint unless someone proposes a better solution. Please choose whichever option you support and feel free to leave any feedback for the community to consider in the comments:

Fix the economy in the ONLY sustainable way... GET MORE PLAYERS.

NO MORE bandaids please, and please stop pointing to CL and CLRCs as a "problem". CL is NOT the problem, lack of player growth and actual player base DECLINE is the problem. WE NEED TO FIX THIS FIRST!!

What kinds of proposal even is this ?? I mean what ?????

NO! NEVER!

Not a proposal... I was asked to run a poll so I am. It's going pretty much exactly how I expected it would, but sometimes people need to see for themselves I guess.

Not gonna happen.

I concur

As someone that is 100% anti-bot and anti-battle helper I still say no to this even though a giant bot farm account just burned a boat load of CL rewards cards to inflate DEC.
I think this would be punishing every player for the abuse that bot farms did.

Absolutely not. Not for any past card. If people wanted to do this for future sets, I'd be less against it. Still, it wouldn't make sense to do it for cards that are sold in packs. That leaves reward cards but since they are now soulbound and can only be burned for DEC after a much higher unlock cost, it serves no purpose.

In short, it's a big NO for past cards, a "why would we?" for future set cards and a probably yes for future reward cards if they ever start as not soulbound.

The burn mechanism is an important failsafe mechanism that allows Splinterlands to die and be reborn again. Card and collection values are in my view more important than the DEC Peg, if the game is in a state where everyone is leaving and selling (like it is now) it gets the prices so low that people who want out have to burn their cards and dump the DEC below peg. This reduces the card supply which is needed to make them more attractive again.

Removing this mechanic would mean Splinterlands would likely die with no chance for it to be reborn unless some other card burn mechanic is invented.

lmao no (appreciate the poll though, clay!)

This would be a huge mistake in my opinion, the burn provides a floor value for cards and we absolutely want to keep that.
Yes we still have a huge oversupply of CL era cards, but we'll get through them eventually.
Don't kill a working system for unrelated mistakes we've made in the past!

For the record, this whole thing was not my idea. People want to see what stake says.

All good, not blaming you at all, you're just doing what the community is asking of you... just think this one is an especially bad idea :D

Please don't do this. We took away enough, let's not give another hit to the system that makes people sell and flee while we have the chance to actually build something.

Personally I think Survival Mode can save CL and that there's no point in doing or considering anything like this until we see how that plays out.

I personally think this is a terrible idea...

There's lots of DEC out there... but there's lots of uses for it and a finite amount of cards...

As many have said:

Add players and this issue goes away...

We removed burn value from gladiators I think reward cards is fair too. There is a ton of upside to this. I always was of the extreme opinion reward cards should only serve to help you earn more SPS and not be sellable though. That should be reserved from cards that come from packs. I think this takes away a lot of the economic damage caused by Chaos Legion specifically, and would go a long way to improving DEC value and SPS burning intensity, which we need more people to shift to. Screw the bot farms sitting on 10s of millions of DEC in reward cards still hurting our economy to this day. They had their chance to make money off these cards.

You know what happens if something like this passes? People will burn those cards in mass and you'll get the same or even more DEC. For Gladius it made sense. We took a hit but for the future it would no longer be possible. Reward cards are soulbound now so it's not even an issue anymore.

No, they definitely should not make a change like this. I don't think it would ever happen anyway. Let's let Survival Mode and land do what they're both supposed to do and stop trying to change everything every two seconds.

Pretty much exactly where my heads at.

Well, thanks for putting the question out there! Some of us understand that when you run these polls, it's not another way of you personally saying "I think we should do this."
